Sherardised Nails

Sherardised Nails

When you need nails that can stand up to tough environments and long-term exposure, sherardised nails are a reliable choice for the trade. Designed for durability and corrosion resistance, these fixings are ideal for external timber work where standard nails just won’t last.

Sherardising is a zinc diffusion process that coats the nail evenly on all surfaces, including threads and recesses. This creates a hard-wearing, matt grey finish that offers excellent protection against rust and corrosion. Unlike some plated coatings, sherardising won’t flake or chip, making these nails particularly well-suited for outdoor use and pressure-treated timber.

Sherardised nails are commonly used for fencing, decking, landscaping, timber framing, sheds and other exterior joinery where moisture and weather exposure are unavoidable. They’re compatible with modern treated timbers and are often specified for jobs where longevity and structural integrity are key concerns.

Our range includes a selection of sizes to suit different applications, giving tradesmen confidence that their fixings will hold firm over time. Whether you’re working on agricultural fencing, garden structures or general outdoor construction, sherardised nails provide a strong, dependable fixing that helps reduce callbacks and maintenance issues.

If you’re looking for a tough, trade-approved nail that’s built to last outdoors, sherardised nails are a smart choice. Keep your van stocked and be ready for jobs where corrosion resistance really matters.
